Scott Brown

If he starts at the weekend, I despair. Send Soro on loan, it's not like he's going to be used any time soon. We are damaging his career here.

 

He's used far. Too much, but he looks done, doesn't break. Up play or anything.

 

That 2nd goal it was like watching kids run round a old man waiting for a bus. He cant play 270 mins a week at his age,even when he is rested lenny still brings him on. might as well loan turnbull back to motherwell for sundays game.

 

I honestly can’t see how playing Soro could be any worse. It’s shambolic watching a club legend turn in to a laughing stock. He is nowhere near the necessary level, gets brushed off by anyone with any pace or movement and just hasn’t got it anymore to make an impact on game’s.

Not the only one but looks finished.

 

Lol, it's this fkn phone, it keeps putting in full stops automatically and can't be arsed going back and changing. Lol

 

Can’t measure what he gives on a stat sheet etc.

 

pmsl

what was it 6 or 7 games ago neil was forced to say scott wont play all the games

then he proceeds to * play him in as much as humanly possible

tbf theres lots wrong but the brown things been on the cards for years

what a massive failure not having or bedding in a replacement type player

even now weve got one that looks fairly good and he hardly gets a sniff but when he does plays brilliant then gets * battered * out of or something cause he doesnt get seen again for weeks then bam in again lille 2nd half plays brilliant then bam must have got a hiding again cause hes gone missing again

* is going on at our club ??? * some * explain it

 

Why is he even playing with that serious strapping on his wrist?

He couldn't even pick the ball up with it at one point so holding off a player or jostling is impossible

As Shelby says, won't slate him too much, but it's a real shame watching him recently

 

35 and we haven't got someone to play his position still..

Watching him on the sidelines like that just scunnered....

Ah I dunno..

 

Sorro. The guy who looks good but never gets a look in, like Eboue before him.

 

I get that Ntcham has been poor recently, and we don't really have any other option at RW than Christie, but Turnbull and Soro really need to be getting games soon, Broony is no longer good enough to start, and hasn't been for a while.

 

Turnbull has to be getting more game time. What are the management team seeing in training that we arent? they clearly dont think he is ready which is worrying when we have malfunctioning midfield but still there is no sign of him. McGregor was anonymous tonight, posted completely missing.

 

Soro and Turnbull never getting a look in really is bizzare..

 

Its actually infuriating at this point, wouldn't mind if the team was playing like the invincibles, or even good for that matter. Broony's done and McGregor is casper most weeks. Jesus man

 

Think the only way he gets dropped fully is if he says so, Lenny too scared to drop him for more than a game.

He can still play a huge part but his legs are gone, clear as day.

 

I think whatever happens, this will be his last season as a starter. We know what he brings and the heights of his performances will only whittle. He has to be replaced with someone who can offer more in the centre of midfield.

 

SCOTT BROWN has sensationally stated Celtic’s season is already CRUMBLING.

It was a remarkable admission from the veteran captain who was so poor himself in the Sparta humbling that he was subbed with less than an hour gone of one of the club’s worst ever Euro losses.


Captain Brown’s stark summing up of the Hoops performance, and where it leaves them for the rest of the campaign, will alarm the Parkhead board with the badly misfiring team virtually out of Europe now – and nine points behind Rangers with ten-in-a-row at stake.




Celtic now go to Motherwell on Sunday knowing anything less than victory could push their manager to the brink.


Neil Lennon looked shell-shocked at full-time as he delivered, in a calm tone, angry words of criticism for his players while former idol Chris Sutton delivered a scathing TV verdict of ‘gutless’ ‘pathetic’ and ‘bottlers’.

Brown didn’t hold back either – as he made it clear the Hoops’ campaign, never mind a Scottish Cup Final on December 20 which could seal a quadruple Treble, is now drifting horribly.



The 35-year-old, who laboured against an inspired and weakened Sparta team achieving a Czech club’s first ever Parkhead triumph, said: “We’ve got to be strong now. This is where character comes through.

“We know we have quality players who can perform, we just need to make sure we do it week in, week out.


We can’t have lapses now and then. We need to be focused and give everything on the park as a minimum.

“We just have to get together and work hard so everyone knows how good a Celtic team this is.

“We’ve not hit those standards yet for whatever reason but we need to make sure we do it quickly.

“This season is slowly going and we need to hit top form quickly.


“It wasn’t a team performance tonight. It was a group of individuals.

“It wasn’t good enough from start to finish and we got what we deserved.

“We started off not too bad. Then we lose a goal and I think everyone’s heads went down from there and we didn’t recover well.

“ We didn’t play as well as we can do and we know it is our responsibility to bounce back now.


We need to make sure we do that extremely quickly because we have a game on Sunday.

“I’m talking about today’s performance which wasn’t good enough. I’m not ranking it, just saying today’s wasn’t anywhere near where it should have been.

“That’s start to finish, throughout the whole team.

“Probably not one person got pass marks. We know it wasn’t good enough and now we need to bounce back really quickly.

“You look at the performance on Sunday. We were very good on Sunday but very sloppy today.

“I would love to put my finger on it and tell you what it was but we need to make sure we are better all over the park – we work harder, we fight more, we create more chances and defend better as a team.


For us, today’s performance was nowhere near the standard set at this club and especially over the last 13 years I have been here. It’s not acceptable.”

Celtic fans are up in arms over team performances and results.

And Brown addressed them while also defending Lennon.

He said: “The message to fans is we will fight and scratch to make sure we bounce back.

“Sunday is HUGE now and we need to make sure we put on a performance and get three points.

“It wasn’t a day we could say we gave supporters what they wanted.

“They’ve had a lot of fantastic times and we need to make sure they continue.

“We know that wasn’t the standard we accept at this club.

“The pressure should be on the players, not the manager.


The manager has been fantastic for us from when he first came in.

“It’s about the players on the park and we need to take responsibility.”
